Changing A Paradigm — Or Two

Stories are a powerful element in preaching. They have a way of triggering connections and bringing life to otherwise mundane illustrations. Stories capture our imaginations, pique our memories, and envelop us in the drama of life. Glenn Ludwig brings to these messages on Gospel lessons from the Revised Common Lectionary many personal stories drawn from his ministry. And the pericopes themselves (mostly from Luke) are filled with stories of Jesus’ encounters with people. Ludwig’s dynamic sermons are sure to captivate readers and draw them into a greater understanding of the scriptural texts.
